The Power of Together

Running a business can be challenging. With so many moving parts, it often feels like a living entity that requires constant nurturing to stay afloat, especially when navigating the choppy waters of entrepreneurship. One of the toughest challenges I see is faced by solopreneurs—those running their businesses entirely on their own—or small business owners who are juggling multiple roles, from lead generation and marketing strategy to service delivery.

When you started your business, it was likely because you were passionate about offering a specific product or service. You imagined spending most of your time doing what you love—delivering that product or service to your customers. However, the reality of running a small business or working solo means your focus often shifts to the crucial tasks of generating sales, handling customer support, and managing operations. This shift can be overwhelming and can make it difficult to grow.

This is where leverage comes in. Leveraging the expertise of others can be a powerful tool to scale your business, but it’s not always easy to see how to do it. You may be restricted by cost or concerned about taking on too much risk. I’ve seen countless businesses struggle in this predicament, capping their growth potential by trying to do everything themselves.

If you find yourself in this position, one of the best things you can do is seek support. Find someone who has seen these challenges before, who understands the strategies to navigate them, and who can offer practical solutions. When it comes to client acquisition, for example, it’s easy to lose sight of who your customers are, what they truly want, or where to find them. Different sectors and markets have different channels that work best, and the variables can seem overwhelming.

But when you work with someone who truly understands these complexities, you benefit from their years of experience. You’re essentially buying your way to a solution—and that’s what the most successful businesses do. They don’t ignore their challenges or let them hinder growth. They seek answers and expertise, and they move forward.

Some view coaches and consultants as unnecessary extras, but when you have a defined problem and need help making positive changes, they become essential. With the right guidance, you can make decisions that increase your business success—and, in turn, your personal success.

Over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of companies, both independently and through Big Wolf Marketing, the lead generation agency I founded over 10 years ago. I’ve seen so many problems that, with the right approach, are easily solvable. Helping businesses thrive is my passion, and I firmly believe that no one should lose sleep or be consumed by the pressure of unresolved issues.
